17 month old baby loved this toothbrush, however she is only 17 months old. Even while supervised, she'll bite down on the brush. I'll pull it away and we'll continue brushing - she's supervised at all times. Regardless, this led to the bristles coming off just like other reviewers mentioned. I know the company replied to those other reviews that this is not a chew toy -- obviously it's not a chew toy and we know that. The issue is that if the toothbrush is advertised for 0-4 years it should work for babes under 2 that have a tendency to chew the moment something enters their mouth - it's perfectly natural. So, I gave them 2 stars because if you baby is 2+ or not a chewer, this toothbrush is fantastic. But if your baby chews on anything that enters their mouth - even under constant supervision the toothbrush will fall apart after a couple of months.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Compré este cepillo eléctrico para mi hijo de 3 años. Nada más verlo se enamoró de él, y ahora le encanta cepillarse los dientes cada día. Creo que me ayudará a convertirlo en un buen hábito.

¡Hola!
¡Gracias por compartir tu opinión! Nos hizo muy felices saber que su hijo está disfrutando de ISSA™ Play <3
I bought this for christmas to help ease brushing teeth of The toddler. He likes The brush better than a regular one, It is the perfect size and easy for a 3 year old to use . However, I was disappointed how fast he was able to chew it to pieces. We Lost 8 bristles on The first Day as he tried The brush independently for few Times before we realised how easily The silicone gets cut on his teeth. They had not fallen out competelly, but I had to pull out The 8 bristles as they were torn from root. Now we monitor him closely to Make sure he won't bite The brush too hard. Sound is nice and quiet, and The brush head perfectly small. Feels so nice and smooth on hand. I like this idea of a tooth brush. I bought one for myself too (The mini, also Works as a spare in case baby brush gets too damaged).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi there!
Thank you for the lovely review of our ISSA™ Baby! It makes us so happy to hear your toddler is enjoying his favorite toothbrush! Please make sure he is always supervised while using his ISSA™ Baby :)
This was the perfect teething brush for my little one until it just stopped working. I put it on the charger thinking it needed to be charged up but nope! It worked for a few months and now won’t even turn on. Maybe mine was defective ? But it is over all a great concept and I wish it still worked.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Dear customer, thank you for your review! We are head over heels to hear that ISSA™ Mikro is giving you its best :)
It's a super struggle to get my 1 year old to brush her teeth at all. This toothbrush makes things a lot easier. She really likes the tickly feeling from the vibration and holding it herself. It's a great size for her. There are two vibration options- higher and lower. She doesn't mind either. I thought maybe she wouldn't like this brush and I'm so relieved she does. After the initial short charge when we got it, we haven't had to charge it again. She still bites the toothbrush but hasn't put any holes in it yet. Her bamboo toothbrush bristles are mangled from her constant biting but this toothbrush is very sturdy. I like that even though she's not too good at moving the brush around, at least it's doing something while sitting in her mouth. I really like that there are no replacement brush heads. I only wish that they offered silicone recycling or a take back program. Foreo needs to be responsible for the products they put in the world by offering closed loop recycling. Silicone lasts forever and doesn't break down in nature.

Hi there! Thank you for your lovely feedback - we are absolutely thrilled to hear your little one loves brushing with her ISSA™ Mikro. However, please note that ISSA™ Mikro is not a chewing toy and our warranty does not cover cosmetic deterioration caused by fair wear and tear, or damage caused by accident, misuse or neglect. Furthermore, please note that as per the ISSA ™ mikro user manual, 'vigorous chewing may cause damage to the silicone cover of the toothbrush over time. Babies and young children should always be supervised by a responsible adult while using the toothbrush.' Please be extra careful, as it is possible for the silicone to break amid all the biting. It is also important to emphasize that our company policy usually requires you to send the device back to us so that we can properly dispose of it before sending you a replacement. Please note that all FOREO devices are recyclable. Once you disassemble your device, and once it is safe to go outside, you can take the device to your local electronics recycling center. Most electronic waste facilities will gladly accept and recycle FOREO devices. Another option is to dispose of parts individually if your local electronics recycling center will not take the FOREO device as a whole unit. If you need more information on how to recycle your FOREO devices, kindly contact our lovely Customer Care agents, who will be happy to provide further instructions. Kindest regards <3
